Security Blurs makes an important contribution to anthropological
work on security. It introduces the notion of "security blurs" to
analyse manifestations of security that are visible and identifi
able, yet constructed and made up of a myriad and overlapping set
of actors, roles, motivations, values, practices, ideas,
materialities and power dynamics in their inception and
performance. The chapters address the entanglements and overlaps
between a variety of state and non-state security providers, from
the police and the military to vigilantes, community organisations
and private security companies. The contributors offer rich
ethnographic studies of everyday security practices across a range
of cultural contexts and reveal the impact on the lives of ordinary
citizens. This book presents a new anthropological approach to
security by explicitly addressing the overlap and entanglement of
the practices and discourses of state and non-state security
providers, and the associated forms of cooperation and confl ict
that permit an analysis of these actors' activities as increasingly
"blurred".
